UPDATE: A student on the scene told us that the suspect had "special needs" and spoke through a sock puppet. The student, Michael Chalfan, described the suspect as "eccentric" and a "loner," and said that after the suspect was arrested, he flashed a "sinister smile" from the back of a police car. (Garcia also said he did not know where the attacks occurred on this sprawling campus of between 6,000 and 7,000 students, although college officials said it was at and around the Health Science Center.)

While Garcia did not disclose the type of weapon, Chalfan, a 22-year-old sophomore, told us he saw a blade resembling one from an X-Acto knife or a box-cutter sticking out of one victim's cheek.

Chalfan also said he never imagined the suspect doing something like this.

UPDATE Lone Star College authorities have confirmed that only one was suspect was involved in the stabbings. The "campus has been cleared and remains closed for the remainder of the day/evening. The campus evacuation was orderly and efficient," according to an e-mail from spokesman Jed Young. The campus "will reopen for regularly scheduled classes and activities on Wednesday morning. All other Lone Star College locations, including the LSC-Fairbanks Center, remain open as scheduled.....The HCSO and campus police continue to investigate the incident and the campus remains an active crime scene."

UPDATE: The suspect, Dylan Quick, 20, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault.

According to HCSO:

The instrument used by Quick to stab and cut the victims was a razor-type knife.

There were pieces of blade in at least one victim, broken blade pieces in the area where the cutting occurred, and the handle to a razor-type knife was found in a backpack that Quick was carrying when he was arrested.

According to the statement the suspect voluntarily gave investigators, he has had fantasies of stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school. He also indicated that he has been planning this incident for some time.
